Several people sent me this story about two members of the Typo Eradication Advancement League (TEAL) getting arrested for vandalizing a sign at the Grand Canyon. They have been banned from entering any national parks for a year and have to pay a $3000 fine. Yikes! Let this be a lesson to you, dear readers. If you see a punctuation error, take a photo of it for Apostrophe Catastrophes, but don't try to fix it unless it's on a dry-erase board or a cake.

But speaking of errors, doesn't the article's headline, "Men banned from national parks after vandalism," kind of make it sound as if no men are allowed in national parks anymore?
